Really feels to me that his biggest problem is in his head. Too tight, lacking confidence, not having....f**.
Ahh darn,Carson Kuhn was the Boise State transfer,ya? I even mentioned him somewhere earlier when wrestleknownothing was listing transfers..
And threw that headlock on Tomesello in the 2018 dual (Nathan saved by the table, but the tone was set).
Maybe, over the years like many people I struggled with motivation to train. And it finally dawned on me, the first thing was I chose this. The second point was supposedly I really like her love this. And finally the third thing that I thought about was why not just do it hard?
Do it with joy because this stuff is fun and even though it's physically hard just throw yourself into it and love it.
At some point you're not gonna be able to do hard physical activity and you'll want to know that you did your best when you had the chance.
1. What's your point? It's obviously not a draw for recruits.
2. I don't even know what this means.
I can see how using the word “coast” can trigger this type of response. I definitely didn’t mean to infer in any way that his effort was low. The example I was trying to make is very similar to J. Jaggers, wherein the regular season was simply a training session to get the weight cut under control and get to March in the best condition possible.
Of course they are still trying to win every match they wrestle, but the true focus is always March…
What do you not understand? 1) IOWA has, since the GABLE era, MANY wrestlers move on to COACH!!! That says a LOT about the program because those coaches have done MANY great things!!!
The second part was send to someone to look up which he did and I DESTROYED him again on the FACTS!!!!
Stylistically, do you think many modern blue chip recruits change that much in college? Maybe tweak a few things. I guarantee Bo Bassett and Melvin are not going to have any big changes to the way they wrestle after 4-5 years at Vtech. Maybe the exception to that is stud high school guys working on their bottom game. That was the biggest hole in Angelo’s game, and appears to be the same for Harvey.
Wrestling on the bottom has always been the biggest learning curve in DI wrestling. It isn't that many elite guys aren't good on bottom, but they simply don't consistently get the level of "feel" to average DI riding, let alone the elite. Some guys are coming in much more ready now than ever before, because they are ALREADY getting access to elite DI guys, while still in High School. Still, it isn't so much about learning new moves, it is about "feels" and execution.
You may get a few guys that come in much more raw that can learn new things that work well for them. But, a vast majority of the elites already have their styles pretty much set. DI wrestling is all about polishing those strengths as much as possible, while learning how to minimize mistakes in situations while trying to maximize opportunities.
A huge thing, that is rarely talked about on here, is simply adapting to the college lifestyle and still managing to give your best in the room and on the mat. The best coaches are the ones that can help guys assimilate and find the least stressful way to manage all the practices, classes, studying, girlfriends, sleeping and STILL being able to find some time to relax and enjoy yourself. Creating that type of environment is probably the most underrated part of coaching at that level...
Again, so? Gable S coach in 1997. He coached for a belief 22 years, I'm sure down the road after Sanderson is done coaching many of his wrestlers will have gone on to coaching jobs it's kind of what happens
No one doubts cable was great, but the current Hawkeyes aren't at the level of Gables teams.
I can't remember who it was, maybe Ed Ruth?, that said about spending hours on the bottom just getting ridden when he first got on campus.
My son is a freshman, and he constantly says about the balance of workouts, practice, weight management, class etc. He also mentions about how the seniors struggle with the stress. I guess its just a transition on both ends. I honestly never thought about the senior aspect of it before.

---------This is true. Junior said the pressure never ends throughout ones career.
Yes good idea!!! So I will even let you go first!!! You pick a card, then I pick 10, should be a GR* game!!!!
WHO?
R U REAL SLOW???? The HAWKS may have a DOZEN kids coaching NOW!!!
"Our program"....... is dogsh!t. Psu is superior in every way. Its not just recruiting. Their offensive attacks, positioning, hand and wrist control, finishing technique, top riding, etc, etc.
TnT are awesome dudes, but the sport has evolved past them. Time to clean house.

You missed the point. If there is a guy who is always the loudest in the room he is the weakest. Not necessarily physically but definitely mentally
Like i said it went way over your head. Try not to be dumb as **** and its nice knowing i got in your head lol
You have to excuse his ignorance or lack of education. His critical thinking skills are lackingThat concludes today’s public service announcement from The Oracle.
Trolls, slappies (?), Brands critics, the weak, and all other miscellaneous louts need only reply with gratitude.
I continue to be amazed by your stupidity lol. Seriously keep speaking that crap and iowa stays where they are at forever. Be better. Stop accusing kids of juicing unless you have proof and winning isnt proof. Have you seen luke lillendahl and marcus blaze. Are they juicing come on
Try deductive reasoning. If you dont know what that is grab a theasoris if you don't know what that is grab a dictionary or maybe try logic or common sense ffs educate yourself
The rest of the college wrestling world is a joke. Lions don’t lose sleep of the opinions of sheep.
100%. Many have pointed this out but It’s already too late. Any longer, we become completely irrelevant. Time to be honest and be bold.
(Sticks head in after the carnage)
…does anyone want to buy rare Iowa wrestling cards on eBay?

Gotta spell thesaurus right if you're going to tell someone to someone to use one.
Did someone sneak out of the basement and raid Grandma’s liquor cabinet last night?
Quite the opposite in my book. We weren't blown off the mats. 6 of the matches were decided by a takedown or less.
This is an Iowa board. If any of us go to your board the ball licking mods ban us immediately. Giant bunch of pussies is what all of you are. No Iowa fans want you here.
Yeah, we each had our own expectations. It was worse than I thought it would be. A couple TDs to 15 for them? We had 3x more stall calls than TDs. Despite me thinking it would be a blowout, I hadn't anticipated that level of offensive ineptness. I agree with Tom Brands.
"That's unlike any dual that I've been in since I've been the coach here," said Tom Brands, who's in his 20th season as Iowa's head coach. "We've been beat up before, but not like that."
